Our Programmes
Ten areas of work, each designed around local needs and participation.
Education can open doors that remain closed to many people because of economic or social circumstances.
Our education initiatives seek to support learners and families through appropriate forms of assistance, connections and opportunities.
Areas may include:
Productive livelihoods can strengthen families and communities.
Our agriculture and livelihood initiatives seek to create practical opportunities for individuals and groups to participate in productive economic activities.
Areas may include:
Women are central to the strength and economic wellbeing of families and communities.
Our initiatives seek to support women through practical opportunities that can strengthen their capacity to participate in economic and community life.
Areas may include:
Young people represent a major source of creativity, energy and future leadership.
We seek to help young people develop skills, confidence, networks and pathways toward productive participation in society.
Areas may include:
Small and medium-sized businesses can play an important role in employment, household income and local economic development.
We work with appropriate partners to help entrepreneurs access relevant information, training, business formalisation, networks and financial opportunities.
Our model
Where appropriate, programmes may involve financial institutions, business organisations, government agencies and other partners.
We support initiatives directed toward people experiencing particular humanitarian or welfare needs.
Depending on programme resources, eligibility and assessment, support may include:
We seek to deliver assistance responsibly while respecting dignity, privacy and safeguarding requirements.
Grassroots. Local Knowledge. Local Participation.
Communities understand many of their own challenges better than anyone outside them.
Our community-development approach therefore encourages local participation in identifying needs, designing solutions and supporting implementation.
We seek to work with:
Technology can expand access to knowledge, communication, networks and opportunity.
CEO Foundation therefore supports appropriate technology-enabled approaches that can help communities participate in a changing digital world. This includes digital skills, communication, networking, learning and access to emerging digital opportunities.
Strong communities depend upon a healthy environment.
Where relevant to our programmes and partnerships, we support practical approaches that promote environmental awareness, responsible resource use and community sustainability.
Sustainable communities require people who are willing to participate, organise, serve and lead responsibly.
We encourage community participation, volunteering and leadership development as part of our wider commitment to stronger communities.
